Alone

by Deleteandrestart in

since i woke up one year ago , i've been doing a somewhat controlled fade , the experience i've had has been a very solitary one , i don't mean by not seeing anyone i know because i know hundreds in several congregations and i was an elder .

but just coming to terms with the fact that this was no longer the solution to life's problems, that i'd wasted so much time, that as i sat in the kh and heard everyone comment, my heart was no longer in it , i no longer fitted in ..... i felt that they were in the congregation all under the spell or some form of hypnosis from the wtbts,.

it was like for the first time in my experience at the kh , that i was the only one to see what was actually going on , the indoctrination, the guilt tripping, i could see it all as clear as day , and yet i had as it where a metal gag over my mouth, i couldn't speak to anyone about it for fear of them turning me into the spiritual police.

I know what you mean. I have to go to every meeting, can't fade at the moment and it is very hard to hear all the lies. You can't talk to anybody TTATT, I have to give talks and I'm stressed every time, that I don't tell the crap from the bOrg.

The only place where I can really exist like I am, is the internet. Hope that this change sometimes. I try my best. So I only can wish you enough power to deal with it.

But a happy thing: I was able to wake up a friend. He isn't fully awake but on a very good way. So there is hope.

what sort of reactions have you gotten when talking to other jw when telling them the "truth about the truth"?

by AmIright in

its funny ive read some stories on here about how they have become so infuriated by what logic dictates as being true and their own denying of it because it completely screws up their belief and shows how hypocritical it is xd some look like a nuclear reactor about to blow xd.

share you experiences here :) .

Lost a lot of "friends". A friend told me I'm on the wrong way but also don't like to discuss the topic. But, I could and can help a friend to awake. Amazing. So it's worth to talk about it.

Any thought behind your " Avatar"

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

i think that's the correct phrase?

anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

crazy_flickering_light

Thanks Rebel. It's taken from an danish film. I like the black humor of scandinavian films. Also this name fit very good to the overlapping and all this stuff.

But do you like a really scary story? We got a CO that push the dubs to say that we from the bOrg. Something like: "Good morning, we from the local cong of Jehober Witches and want to suck you into a cult!"

Every door is like hell, when the dub you preaching with, start like this.

I think I don't have to "ex-splane" my name. The avatar with a beard and the text "tall, dark and rugged" (picture taken from a shirt) stand for a free life without anybody have the right to make a decission if you have to shave, wear a skirt or what else.

Overlapping gen teaching- Help?

by raven in

hi friends,.

can someone please help explain to me the overlapping generations teaching?

i have not been able to grasp this one or what it even applies to?

crazy_flickering_light

You write, you read that some people waking up by the overlapping gerneration. It was a start for them I think. I don't know how and what you research. But you write, you like to "learn as much as I can to help me solidify that the org is a lie". So start at the start. One thing I see, much people don't research is 607 b.c. Did you read Jonsson? It is the base for so much: the nearly end, the GB and much more. So if you research this toppic in deep, then you see that people they don't elected tell you bs.

Going to meetings to "save face."

by Darkknight757 in

going to make this short and sweet but i need some advise again and i kinda need to vent a bit so sorry.😢.

so it has been weeks since the wife and i have been to meetings.

it has been nothing short of wonderful!!!

crazy_flickering_light

I have to go to every meeting, so sorry for you. Maybe you can reduce it to sunday-meetings only and skip some of them? I feel it's easier to ignore the talk and the study then the midweekmeeting with the CLAM.

what do you think is the main reason why so many young ones are waking up?

by Crazyguy in

seems as though the number of baptisms even for the young ones is down from what people report here.

at my former hall the young ones are all in totally sheltered even while going to school.

expressing thier desires to pioneer etc.

crazy_flickering_light

I have a talk with the CO. He mentioned indirect (it was a blabla about the youth) that the elders hold young once back from baptism. He mean their own childs and other childs. So maybe a lot of elders can't understand all the moves (new light) and try to hold back the youth until they understand themselve the way of the GB.

Also the internet. Nearly every place is occupied by TTATT - newsarticle got comments, big platforms like this here build (thanks Simon), if you want to start at reddit a pro-witness-sub you can't win (there also some language-forks like Spain or Germany) - so if you check a fact online, there's a high risk to read about TTATT. Also if you read at jw.org about some older stuff like the photo-drama of creation (there is an article at jw.org) and research this to see this "100-Year-Old Epic of Faith" (https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20140215/photo-drama-of-creation/) you will see, that it's crap. If you do more research, you look at apostate-sites.

Wt "study" Participation, is it a "True Believer" Indication?-- or not?

by prologos in

in our congregation, the elders rarely comment.

the majority rarely comment, 2 sisters, vehemently, and often comment.

since in their case, it can not possibly be" teaching in the congregation", is participation in the wt "study"in general an affirmation of faith?

crazy_flickering_light

You have to if you an elder or ms. The CO talk about it, when he meet them. If you don't answer some meetings it will be no problem, but normally one to three answers will be fine.

It's also a way to look spiritual and stay undercover.

Only option I think, to hear what they say and how the pray. How/if they pray for examble for the GB or the CO.

How are awake JWs going to deal with the life and death, Dual Power of Suicide, no blood card issue?

by Island Man in

there was a recent leak of a letter to congregations regarding a new dpa no blood card.

part of the letter reads as follows:.

as a reminder, you should provide copies of your completed advance decision document to (1) those who served as witnesses, (2) your general practitioner (doctor), and (3) your congregation secretary.

crazy_flickering_light

When they ask me about it, I'll tell them there is reason for doing it. Not reason within the bible and also this part of my personal data I protect in the way I want.
